Sandown 4.40 tips – Dynamic Girl could prove lively at value price

Jim Boyle is also attempting to strike while the iron is hot by running Black Bess in the closing 7f handicap (4.40pm) under a 6lb penalty for hacking up at Lingfield eight days ago. That’s a wise move as she was flattered by her winning margin of three and a half lengths – she handled the soft ground better than the others – and this is probably her best chance of a follow up. The booking of Ryan Moore is another positive.

However, she has to give nearly a stone to another last-time-out winner in DYNAMIC GIRL and Brendan Powell’s filly is fancied to give Oisin Murphy a double on the card (he’s on the fancied Master Of Irony). It was only a Chepstow maiden she won on her racecourse debut, but the fact she overcome a slow start and scored despite not particularly enjoying the prevailing soft ground means the effort can be upgraded. The stable isn’t known for debut winners, so there is every likelihood she will come on considerably for the run, and the daughter of Boca Dancer (a Listed winner at two) is now making her handicap debut off a potentially generous perch of 64. Of course, Black Bess still looks a big danger but she is just 5/2, whereas the selection is a value 8/1 shot and will be carrying my money.
